Schönbühel an der Donau is a small market town on the Danube in Lower Austria, and this 10 Heller note is a product of the Notgeld emergency currency wave that swept Austrian municipalities during and after the First World War. When the central monetary system fractured and small coin effectively vanished from circulation, thousands of local authorities — including villages with almost no bureaucratic apparatus — were legally permitted to issue their own fractional paper. Schönbühel did exactly that.
F. Seitenberg in Vienna handled the lithography, a commercial printer that serviced numerous such municipal issues across Lower Austria. Bürgermeister Trakowanitsch's signature anchors the note's local authority.
